Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find?


I own a very decent audio system and have slowly been moving up over the last several decades weeding out less-natural sounding equipment and focusing on best sound for my money (what I can afford). My current gear is a collect of Quad, Pass, Klyne, VPI, soekris and a fairly large collection of Kimber, audio quest, Furutech, Cardas, Straightwire, DH Labs cables built up over time.

I have come across lots of high-priced gear that isn't faithful to the music. My reference has always been unamplified voice and instruments and attend such concerts regularly though they are hard to find (but still easy if you live near a major city).

It always a pleasure to come across gear that is low priced and exceeds higher priced gear when it comes to faithful reproduction of music holding to the live unamplifed sound standard.

So.....

I have recently purchased some ATAUDIO cables from Aliexpress that have left me stunned due to low price and performance. Recommended by another audiophile who seemed credible and owned good equipment so decided to give them a try.

A $26 1 meter ATAUDIO copper interconnect cables is running neck and neck my Cardas Clear interconnects and beaten my Cardas clear Cygnus interconnect cables when it comes to clarity, lack of edge and sibilance, warm open holographic sound reproduction. 

Would someone here with a good resolving audio system give one of the ATAUDIO cables a try? The price is noise for us who have invested in decent (high-end) audio system.

ATAUDIO power cords and Interconnects have proved amazing. About to try their speaker cables. I would not recommend their silver cables. I tried them and while they sound more robust and full than their copper cables the silver cables have the a high frequency edge similar to other silver cables I have heard.

Just looking for couple of regular posters here to give the ATAUDIO cables a try.
Can't resist passing along an audio bargain.

If you don't believe in cables making differences please don't post here and go do something else as you have already found your happiness.

I have made references to PC Triple Wire used as a Signal Path in quite a few thread on the Gon.

This wire as a Signal Path and Power Cord has made very good impressions.

It is becoming harder to source as a Wire only, and Cables produced using it will be the easiest way to experience it in use.

Do not take seriously, anyone who has not experienced the wire in use in comparison to OCC, especially in their own system. Where the suggestion is both wires are very similar.

PC Triple C as signal wire, at certain interfaces show OCC to have a very easy to perceive impression of being veiling and muddy. At others the OCC will be less obvious for adding colouration, bit proper evaluation with unearth its presence.

PC Triple C will be the selected wire over OCC.  

Triple C draws the curtains wide open, along with being with much cleaner boots.

I mix Triple C and D.U.C.C Wire when I want to add a hint of a Rich Tone, the D.U.C.C adds a Gin Clear experience of a Rich Tone, a little underpinning weight with no perceivable colour. 

Also important not to overlook the value that low eddy RCA Phono Connectors can add to the good impression that can be made.  

@sudnh  Thanks for checking with me! I haven't done a very good evaluation so far. My initial (and subjective) impression was that they were very similar to my Morrow MA4 cables. After several days of listening I replaced them with the Morrows, and I maybe heard better treble definition with the Morrows. Unfortunately it is a pain to swap cables with my setup, and I still want to do a better evaluation.  This is funny, and I broke my ground rule of not buying cables that are clearly knock-offs; I didn't know Ortofon was an actual brand, so I guess these cables are knock-offs of some Ortofon cable :)

@sudnh The last couple of nights I did some testing, and the results of my subjective evaluation is that the Ataudio cables sound fuller with more bass; the Morrow MA4 have a bit more detail (FYI my Morrow cables have the less expensive RCA plugs). Overall very happy with these Ataudio cables, and if I had to choose I would pick them over the MA4s. Again, this is based on my subjective impressions with my equipment, ears, room, etc.

I ordered the 2 power cables @knownothing suggested, and they should arrive within the next 2 weeks.
